About Heart Sessions

Hello all. This blog is intended to honor the group meditations initiated by Tom Sawyer, now carried on by friends of his since his passing. Being physically spread out as we are we have agreed to sit down in our own homes at the same clock time, 9pm EST on Sunday nights. We sit for at least 20 minutes, although sitting for longer periods is no problem if you so choose.


There is no specified technique for these meditations. Precisely prescribed actions sometimes become unauthentic and what is meaningful for one person may not be for another. So if you choose to assist you may use a favored technique or listen within, apply self-honesty, and allow growth. There is no political or economic agenda involved. There are no dues or dogma. The essential point is an honest willingness to help.


Each week there is a suggested focus as posted on this blog. We previously had been using an email list but now, through the kind assistance and generous guidance of Barbara Whitfield and Donald Brennan, we have the pleasure of this blog forum. Loving thanks to you both. Comments may be left by clicking the "Leave Comments Here" link below each post.

For Sunday October 25th, 2015

Hello everyone, it has been said that one description of hell is to always have your own way, forever. Imagine never getting out of your own thoughts, even if they're all good thoughts, a cocoon of limitation which never reaches chrysalis.

Humanity currently sits at the verge of spiritual adulthood, while people and nations play endlessly at power and money games. 

May we sit this evening for the willingness to look beyond. May we look beyond ourselves, whatever our own limitations might be. May we look beyond whatever we may see in others. May we simply look, to see what may be.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, I'm a bit hunkered down here and just got back from helping my son pick up a large drill press out of town. Sorry for missing the boat. 

Let's pray for the refugee situation coming out of Syria, ok?

Love and sorry to all,

Richard

For Sunday October 11th, 2015

Hello all, in this physical world we come to know ourselves by watching how we relate to others. Our internal wishes, desires, biases, little hates and selfishnesses are all laid out before us. We see them clearly played out in our thoughts and actions. Whenever we engage in the lesser parts of ourselves we wound our own consciences, that part of ourselves which is the manifestation of the Divine.

May we sit this evening for the strength and courage to hold the higher path. May we set aside our lesser selves and immerse instead in the Divine expression we truly are. May 'Thy will be done' in and through us. 

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, near death experiencer Dannion Brinkley <www.dannion.com> explores some complex difficulties facing humanity today but his solution for them is simple – bless your food.

There is an intuitive elegance in the concept. You take a moment to be grateful, endow your food with spiritual energy, then put it inside of you. The spiritual energy travels from you, through your feet, into the Earth. 

May we sit this Sunday for this process. May we share it with friends. May we join together in this simple Grace.

Thank you,

Richard
